Statutory Standards and Frequently Asked Questions
Aberdeen does not create a special IR35 code for Technical Author work. The client SDS should name the Aberdeen workplace and delivery model. An inside finding on a Aberdeen Technical Author brief typically deducts tax at source, while outside IR35 Technical Author work in Aberdeen is billed by a PSC. Local pay sits on a regional rate discount versus London, so a higher Aberdeen headline rate can still be inside. Commuting into Aberdeen does not, by itself, prove substitution or lack of control. Read the Technical Author Aberdeen contract for workplace, hours, and equipment clauses.
